Re: Defining "previously Published" for a photo contest

[Paul Stenquist]

In my wildest fantasies I can't imagine that the Smithsonian would 
consider a photo that appeared in the PUG to be published. I wouldn't 
even raise the issue. Send it in.

The PUG is an informal sharing of photographs, much like showing it

Sorry there are plenty of instances where work is published without 
the

attaining payment for the work, consider the publication of medical
research
for instance (ie a study on the reason that belly button lint is very
often
blue/gray in colour :-)
This may be one of those differences between the way things are done 
in the
USA and TCW.
Since Ann is in the USA, and the Smithsonian is also an American
institution, if thats the way it's done there, then that's that.
OTOH, if TCW law is different, that would affect her entering the 
photo in a
British (as an example) publication.
